What this site puts in your browser.
Analytics, and nothing else. There is no advertising pixel, no retargeting tag, and no data broker on this site. The table below is the whole list.
01 — Our approach
What happens when you arrive depends on where you are visiting from.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, analytics does not run until you say yes. Nothing is stored, nothing is loaded, and declining is a single click that we remember.
Everywhere else, analytics starts when you arrive, a notice tells you so, and one click switches it off for good in that browser. We sell to United States companies, and for a US visitor a consent wall that most people click through teaches nobody anything.
Either way nothing is sold, nothing goes to an advertising network, and the site works identically with analytics off. No feature is withheld, and once you have answered you will not be asked again.
02 — What is stored
These are set by the analytics services that count visits and tie the pages of one visit together. They are readable only by this site.
| What | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Visit identifier | A random string that stands in for your browser. It lets us count one person visiting four pages as one visit rather than four, and it is what associates a form submission with the visit that produced it. It is not your name and we do not resolve it to you. | Up to 12 months |
| Session state | Marks where the current visit started and how many pages it has covered, so a return tomorrow counts as a new visit rather than a continuation. | A visit ends after 30 minutes idle; the marker itself up to 12 months |
| Event queue | Briefly holds page views and clicks in browser storage before they are sent, so nothing is lost if the network stalls. | Cleared when sent |
This one is ours. It never leaves your browser, and it exists so your choice survives a reload.
| What | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Your analytics choice | Records whether you said yes or no. Analytics reads it before loading, which is what makes your answer survive the next page you open, and it is why the notice stops reappearing. | Until you clear site data |
There is no advertising or social media cookie here. Our fonts are served from our own domain rather than a font network, so loading a page does not announce your visit to anyone else. You can see the exact items and their names in your browser’s developer tools at any time, and we will list them for you on request.
03 — Turning analytics off
This switch stops analytics collecting and revokes what is already in your browser. It applies to this browser on this device.
Checking your current setting…
The setting is stored in this browser only. Clearing site data, using a different browser, or browsing privately will start you back at the default, which is on.
04 — Global Privacy Control
If your browser or a privacy extension sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we read it as an opt-out before analytics loads, and this site will not override it. You do not need to use the switch above as well.
05 — Browser-level controls
Every major browser can block or clear cookies for a single site, and blocking them here costs you nothing. If you clear site data you also clear the record of your choice, so you will be asked again on your next visit.
06 — Changes
If we add anything to the tables above, it appears there in the same change that ships it and the effective date moves. Session recording is switched off; turning it on would be a change to this page and to the Privacy Policy, not a silent configuration tweak. Questions go to privacy@patriot7six.com.
